Clark gable Quote by Vivien Leigh
“Who could quarrel with Clark Gable? We got on well. Whenever anyone on the set was tired or depressed, it was Gable who cheered that person up. Then the newspapers began printing the story that Gable and I were not getting on. This was so ridiculous it served only as a joke. From the time on the standard greeting between Clark and myself became, 'How are you not getting on today?'”

![“I find suggestion a hell of a lot more provocative than explicit detail. You didn't see Clark[Gable] and Vivien[leigh] rolling around in bed in Gone With The Wind, but you saw that shit eating grin on her face the next morning and you knew damned well she'd gotten properly laid.” quote by Joan Crawford](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d95/joan-crawford-9168_clark-gable_i-find-suggestion-a-hell-of-a-lot-more-p_604564.jpg)
